Jason Momoa, the Aquaman of the ill-fated DCEU and the actor behind Dune's Duncan Idaho, will star in PlayStation and Sony Pictures' Helldivers movie adaptation, according to Deadline. In December, Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions announced that Justin Lin (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast Five) will direct the adaptation, which has also received a new 2027 release date.
More specifically, this Helldivers adaptation will hit theaters on November 10, 2027, meaning there's still plenty of time to go before we see what Arrowhead Game Studios' uber-popular series looks like on the silver screen. The first Helldivers launched back in 2015 and found moderate success, but Helldivers 2, which launched in 2024, found massive success to the tune of 12 million copies sold in just 12 weeks. It originally launched on PlayStation 5 and PC before coming to Xbox Series X/S last August.
Despite today's news about Jason Momoa's casting, little else is known about the in-development adaptation.
